Always wanted to be in a parade, but not up for a long march? This one's 20 feet long. Help us make it the biggest, shortest parade ever.
About this Event

Everyone's invited to march in our parade. Step-off is 2 PM on McKinley Street, and because the route is only 20 feet long, floats are sized to match — shoebox-sized, roughly. You're welcome to bring one, or join our float-making session starting at 11 AM, no experience required. Craft session location coming soon.

Bringing a marching band, dance troupe, or other large group? We'd love to have you — contact us directly so we can plan for the space.

Bellefontaine has Ohio's highest point, the oldest concrete street in America, and — as it turns out — the shortest street in America. We looked at that shortest street and reached the only reasonable conclusion: ticker tape parade. Every ticker tape parade celebrates something, so this year, we're marching for Johnny Appleseed. His birthday happens to land in September, and Logan County is part of his story too. So why not?
